John Muir, the famous naturalist and hiker, didn’t worry about the difference between walking and hiking when he said,“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out until sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

Thanksgiving Day Hike


Location: Highland Recreation Area, MI
Hiked with: Gary, Ian and the Barbour family
Route/trail: Teeple Lake
Weather: 30 degrees, overcast, flurries
Duration: 1.5 hours, 4ish miles
Altitudes/elevations/conditions: up and down gentle hills over frozen ground 
Sightings: snow!

Emotions, etc: First, thinking that if God had intended for us to rake leaves that this would be a monstrous job on these trails. Secondly, thankful for our children introducing us to new friends that we can spend this Thanksgiving holiday with. Lastly, glad to have a dog along. Abby the labby would have loved this type of hike.
